حكم أصله: منع منعا لإصلاح، ومنه سميت اللجام: حكمة الدابة، فقيل: حكمته وحكمت الدابة: منعتها بالحكمة، وأحكمتها: جعلت لها حكمة، وكذلك: حكمت السفيه وأحكمته، قال الشاعر:120-أبني حنيفة أحكموا سفهاءكم

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿إن ربك حكيم عليم﴾ [الأنعام:83] الحكيم ذو الحكمة والحكم، وأصل المادة على منع لا بعلاج، ومنه حكمة الدابة تجعل عند فكها لتمنعها من الجماح. يقال: حكمت الدابة. منعتها بالحكمة، وأحكمتها: جعلت لها حكمة، وكذا حكمت السفينة وأحكمتها. وأنشد لجرير: [من الكامل] 384 - أبني حنيفة أحكموا سفهاءكم... إني أخاف عليكم أن أغضبا
